What about Maharaja Ranjit Singh. He had affair and married a muslim woman. Never heard any sikh saying he was not a sikh.

He was summoned to the Akal Takhat, and he asked for forgiveness.

 

It was more than just a summons, he was tied to a tree and about to be whipped for it but then got let off.

But still he remained a sikh and was well accepted among sikhs. BTW why didn't he converted Moran to sikhism?

I think it means that in guru jis eyes you are no longer his sikh, also lot of the sikhs actually turned against him because of that, it was not a popular decision among the sikhs of that time and he had to regain their trust after that.

i dont understand why some sikhs look up to maharaja ranjit singh as some radar to measure you sikhi with, he was no sikh role model and did not represent sikhi.

He wasn't the only one. Another prominent sardar had a Muslim wife (but his kids were Sikh). That sardar even had a mosque built for his wife. 

Akali nihungs  had the authority to make people tankhiah or not. M. Ranjit Singh's acceptance of his punishment was (I imagine) considered sufficient for them to grudgingly accept the situation.

Plus I think some of you pajama types don't get the context AT ALL. After a century plus of violent bloodbath battles, and genocide the Akalis would've been well aware of the fact that M. Ranjit Singh consolidated and secured the region against umpteen determined and predatory attacks by Afghans and Persians - this wouldn't have been lost on them (unlike yourselves with your cosy careless lives). They probably weren't too keen on his shenanigans but recognised his genius in leadership.
